Hi, instead of running the DIR command three times for each desired folder, why not run it only once, using for example 'dir C:\ /O:GN /A /-P'? And, BTW, why are you using a batch file at all? You can process directories (and their subdirectories) with VBS very well. And, BTW2, why don't you use SFC? Regards Andreas

Assuming odbcjt32.dll is located in the folder c:\windows\system, and further assuming that you have copied the new file to c:\windows\temp, do the following: Using NOTEPAD, open the file c:\windows\wininit.ini Add the following two lines: [rename] c:\windows\system\odbcjt32.dll=c:\windows\temp\odbcjt32.dll Restart WinME HTH - Andreas

Does this occur in Safe Mode too?

No, there isn't. A lot of localized strings are hardwired in a lot of files (DLLs, EXEs, ...)

It has already been posted in THIS thread. Read soporific's 1st article and have a look at the OPKInstall section ...

Use a VB script (WMI is required also): strComputer = "." Set wbemServices = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer) Set wbemObjectSet = wbemServices.InstancesOf("Win32_LogicalMemoryConfiguration") For Each wbemObject In wbemObjectSet WScript.Echo "Total physical memory (KB): " & wbemObject.TotalPhysicalMemory Next

The file named "directx.log" should give you a hint.

I have managed to remove the MSN icon, but at the ultimate stage of the setup process (after logon) two RunOnce jobs are active which put back that @*~!§$ icon

I guess you mean system.ini. Add this to your msbatch.inf: [UPD.Sys.systemini] %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "32BitDiskAccess=on" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "32BitFileAccess=on" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "PagingDrive=C:" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "PagingFile=C:\PAGEFILE.SYS" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "MinPagingFileSize=200704" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "MaxPagingFileSize=200704" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "WindowUpdateTime=1" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "LocalLoadHigh=1" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "VGA MonoText=Off" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "Text=Off" %10%\system.ini, 386Enh, , "ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1" %10%\system.ini, vcache, , "MaxFileCache=32768" %10%\system.ini, vcache, , "ChunkSize=2048" [Install] UpdateInis=UPD.Sys.systemini NEVER set a maximum for the swap file unless you REALLY need to do so. NEVER use ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 unless you REALLY need to do so. (Why should one downgrade to the legacy W95 mode of swap handling?) Naming the swap file Pagefile.sys (only) makes sense when the swap file is shared with another OS which uses a swap file with that name. The value for MaxFileCache might be way too small for many machines - individual adjustment is required. The ChunkSize setting is questionable.

- Copy the W98 installation folder from the setup CD to your harddisk. - Copy the drivers which you want to add to your harddisk. - Unpack or extract the drivers, so INFINST can find the required .inf files. - Run INFINST to add the driver files to the setup files. - Make a new W98 setup CD.

Use INFINST.EXE - should be found on your W98 CD.

Try [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\FList\command] @="C:\\WINDOWS\\command.com /c dir \"%1\" /a-d /b /s|sort>FileList.txt"

Please post some excerpts from the list which show where the sorting "breaks".
